Feels like running out of gas; smells like gas and/or exhaust; generates back flow (backfire) and then, loses power and dies. Not throwing any codes.
Replaced (but no improvement):
- Manifold / head gasket
- fuel pump (and checked harness)
- throttle body kit (BBK)
- Replaced sensors (all Mopar)
- TPS (throttle position sensor)
- MAP (manifold absolute pressure)
- IAC (idle air control)
- CPS (cam position sensor)
Had my 'Jeep guy' take a look and he's stumped too.
Took it to the Jeep dealership and asked them to work through the following:
- O2 sensor (checked out ok)
- Catalytic converter (checked out ok)
- Coil and/or plugs
- PCM (power train control module)
- ECU (engine control module)
- camshaft
- OPDA
- Fuel injectors
They've told me that it's related to a needed transmission rebuild (32RH)
- Discovered trans fluid aeriated and burnt clutch material
- Est $6,000
I agree trans needs rebuilt (project #2) but can't understand how that might solve the original problem above.
What am I missing? Thx!
